Hamburger SV

Emirates and Hamburger SV Sponsorship

As one of German football’s most successful and renowned clubs, Hamburger SV provide a perfect partnership for Emirates in a key European market and in February 2012, Emirates renewed its sponsorship with Hamburger SV for another three seasons until June 2015, highlighting the airline’s ongoing commitment to Germany and to sports around the world.

In addition to being the football club's main shirt sponsor, the deal includes prominent branding at Imtech Arena, the home of Hamburger SV, as well as promotional and hospitality rights.

At Hamburger SV’s home match with rivals Bayern Munich falling just days after the renewal was signed, Emirates had a significant presence in and around the stadium. The airline ran an ‘Ultimate Fan Experience’ competition in the week leading up to the game, which offered one lucky fan the experience of a lifetime; including a surprise meet and greet home visit from a Hamburger SV player, Emirates chauffeur drive to and from the stadium, behind the scenes stadium tour, a signed Hamburger SV shirt and two “Business Class” seats to watch the match.

Prior to kick-off on the night, the ever popular Emirates Destination Challenge was on hand to entertain the many fans who chose to brave the cold weather and arrive at the stadium early, with over 100 taking kicks for a chance to win return flights to Australia.

Inside the stadium, Emirates cabin crew were on show as the teams emerged from the tunnel and also presented the winner of the ‘Spot The Fan’ big screen competition with their prize; and exclusive behind the scenes training day with the Hamburger SV squad.
